We all have our favorite couple, whether it be close friends of ours to whom we look up or a Hollywood couple that we can't stop rooting for. There might be more failed relationships than successful ones between celebrities, however, there are many couples who have been together for many years. And here they are!
Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen – 27 Years
While we tend to believe the world of Hollywood is full of unfaithful relationships and friendships, there are always exceptions that prove this idea false. Take, for instance, the 27-year old relationship between Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen. Although every pair faces their fair share of battles, disappointments, and frustrations, Danson and Steenburgen have pushed past all that for 27 years.
They are strong and stay united by their mutual love and respect. Naturally, their careers helped them gather a ton of wealth but money is always secondary. They built their foundation on trust and confidence.
Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill – 24 Years
If you are not into country music, it is a fair bet that you will not recognize this couple. However, we are pretty sure that you might have heard a song or two from them already, and just not know it. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill began on an unpleasant note when meeting while they were both in other relationships. Yet the appeal they felt for each other was undeniable. It took them little time to break up with their respective partners and get married. Some might consider this to be quite harsh on their ex-partners, but it simply worked out.
It all happened 26 years ago, and the pair still shock the country music world with their support and love for each other. They have three children together and make sure to bring their kids up to be intelligent and generous, despite what's in their bank account.
Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern – 27 Years
Lisa Kudrow's secret to her 27-year relationship with Michel Stern all comes down to the fact that she always makes time to strengthen her relationship with him. Surely, this is why they have lasted so long! The star of Friends is an amazing and accomplished actress, which must have drawn Michel to her.
However, like all relationships, it took them time to solve all the problems at the start. Indeed, it was six years before they reached their first date. Fortunately, they have a son together now but little is known about him since they keep their life very private.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick - 29 Years
Sarah Jessica Parker is a huge star, acting in many movies, and is well known for her role in Sex and the City. Matthew Broderick is an actor and singer, known for his role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, as well as being the voice of Simba in The Lion King.
In 1997, the couple got engaged and didn't marry for another 27 years. Matthew and Sarah both like to keep their lives private and distance themselves from the paparazzi. The pair have always supported each other and credit their lengthy relationship to commitment and trust.
Beyonce and Jay Z – 21 Years
Beyonce & Jay Z do not have to worry about future economic crises with a joint net of approximately one billion dollars. Maybe it helped them remain happier when less stressed about cash?
Nevertheless, we know it demands a lot of love, respect, and trust if a marriage can last almost twenty years. They demonstrate that true and lasting love is achievable if you work hard and communicate. Together they have three wonderful children.
Steve Carell and Nancy Walls – 25 Years
Ah, have you ever wondered how Steve Carell met his spouse? Well, he was her teacher. They finally began dating after beating around the bush for a few years. Now for 25 years, they've been happily married. Fortunately, because we can't believe disappointing someone like Steve Carell who is so funny and beautiful!
Interestingly enough, in the popular series, The Office, she played his girlfriend. For them, in all these years nothing has altered, except their income, which has likely gone up a lot, and for good reason! Together they are exceptionally successful and continue loving and supporting each other.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas – 22 Years
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas must be one of the most prominent couples in Hollywood. They have both made incredible films during their careers. Douglas was the son of Kirk Douglas, another major Hollywood actor, but Catherine's claim to fame was both her incredible skill and performances. They are still married and have been for two decades, despite their age gap.
They signed a prenup contract that states that if Douglas cheats on her, Catherine will receive $5 million per year. We are sure that will never happen and the couple will be together for many more years to come. In recent years, the health of Douglas has deteriorated, but he is now doing better. The insights we get from social media also testify to how much they love each other.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds - 11 Years
Blake and Ryan Reynolds became good friends in 2010 while shooting Green Lantern (2011). Interestingly, Reynolds' marriage to Scarlett Johansson ended a year later, and Lively had recently split up with Leo. The two reconnected as friends and got together on a double date.
But the funny thing is that they weren't actually each other's date, which sounds like the perfect meet-cute for a room-com! Reynolds and Lively decided to get married in 2012, just a year after dating each other. They now have 3 kids with another one on the way!
Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias – 21 Years
His love for ace tennis player, Anna Kournikova, broke millions of hearts. And we mean millions. When the news went global, many of his female fans became jealous that he was in a relationship. Anna appears perfect for him and together they have happily expanded their family and now have twins. Nevertheless, no one knows for sure whether the two have married.
However, married or not, if you are 19 years into a relationship there is little opportunity to leave so quickly. We would, however, love to see Anna in a beautiful wedding dress and Enrique in a tux!
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon – About 31 Years
It needs to be someone unique when you remember meeting them from when you were little. When he was just 12 years old, Kevin Bacon remembered meeting his future wife, Kyra. Later they met again on the set of Lemon Sky and instantly felt the chemistry. In no time they were married.
Since then it's been almost 31 years and the pair looks as magnificent as ever. We believe this is due to the fact that their connection continues to remain strong and healthy as they grow older.
Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy – About 38 Years
Felicity Huffman might be in the media for all the wrong reasons lately, but rest assured her connection with William H. Macia is the real deal. Their marriage, which has lasted 38 years has withstood the test of time and continues to be growing and strengthening.

We hope their legal problems are being resolved so they can quickly get back on the big screen.

The couple met late in their lives, but the chemistry was palpable when they met each other. He also quickly embraced the adoption of Flockhart's son.

Additionally, they never let rumors of unfaithfulness get in the way of their relationship no matter how harsh Hollywood makes them out to be. They are not the only couple who had managed to steer clear of the evil tongues, and there are many more for you to read about later on.

They married in 2003 and extended their family. They are still together and continue living their life with much happiness and love.

Rockstars are not precisely renowned for their loyalty, yet Keith Richards demonstrates again that stereotypes should not be trusted. In 1983, he married actress and model Patti Hansen, who he first met four years earlier. They had two wonderful daughters together.
The wonderful pair are now grandparents and are still living an unbelievable life together. He admitted he'd like to move into a pension home in Jamaica if he ever had a life-threatening disease.
